Xiao Yuanshi found that Shi Qingluo was too well-informed.
She knew so quickly that Ge Chunru had accepted 50,000 taels of silver.
He doesn’t know if someone in the mansion or Concubine Hua leaked it.
He said calmly, “I didn’t accept it.”
Shi Qingluo looked at him like a fool: “She is your woman; if she accepted it, wouldn’t it be the same as you accepting it?”
“Former Father-in-law, I’m curious, what choice are you going to make now?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve been led astray?
It was he who asked Shi Qingluo to come over to test them and wanted to know what they wanted to do, but now she is asking him about his choice?
Xiao Yuanshi looked unhappy: “Of course, I am loyal to the Emperor.”
Shi Qingluo said with a bit of gloating, “But you took 50,000 taels. Prince Jin wants you to do something. If you don’t agree, you can’t get away with taking bribes.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
He shouldn’t have called her over to make him angry.
He didn’t answer, and turned the topic back to the beginning, “What about you? Your current performance, are you going to get on Prince Jin’s boat?”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “You guess!”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Guess my ass!
He only realized now that this bad daughter-in-law was not only full of bad water, but also a monkey spirit.
Shi Qingluo suddenly asked, “Why do you want us to do the opposite of Prince Jin?”
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned, obviously surprised by how Shi Qingluo guessed.
But he restrained himself in an instant, “Whether you go against Prince Jin or not is none of my business.”
He looked sincere, “I just want to remind you not to make the wrong choice, drag down Zheng’er, and make the emperor angry with him, that’s all.”
Shi Qingluo sneered, “I don’t believe you are so kind.”
“Former Father-in-law, what kind of person are you? Don’t you know what I am? I’m not a fool, will I believe what you say?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
This daughter-in-law’s words can choke people.
He pretended to be calm, “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”
“If you want Zheng’er to stay away, then you’d better keep a distance from Prince Jin’s mansion.”
He pretended to be for your good: “I’ll remind you of this, whether you listen or not is your business.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, “Thank you for your reminder and kindness.”
Xiao Yuanshi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this bad daughter-in-law had finally listened to what he said.
Who knew that she would say something that would piss him off again.
Shi Qingluo said again, “But I just don’t want to listen to you.”
She spread her hands, “You said east, but I want to go west, what should I do?”
“After all, your image of a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken is too deeply rooted in our hearts.”
She had found out that the scum father had no good intentions.
He didn’t want them to have a good relationship with Prince Jin.
The scum father must want them to fight Prince Jin, so that he could fish in troubled waters.
If she had listened to him, she might have thanked him for reminding her and eased their relationship.
Sure enough, he was insidious and treacherous.
If she hadn’t always been on guard against the scum father, she always felt that he wouldn’t be so kind, and suddenly found his unexpected look, she almost believed his “kindness”.
Therefore, Shi Qingluo would certainly not tell the scum father that they did this with the Emperor’s permission.
She wanted to make the scum father unable to guess and see through whether they are going to board the ship of Prince Jin, and make him angry to death.
Xiao Yuanshi was furious at this time: “……”
Who is the weasel? Can she speak human words?
He suddenly regretted that he had persuaded Shi Qingluo not to get close to Prince Jin’s mansion.
He should have encouraged her to join King Jin instead. If she really did the opposite, she would automatically stay away.
Of course, what Shi Qingluo said was not necessarily true.
That’s why he was so angry. He had never met such a difficult person in the officialdom.
How could Xiao Hanzheng like such a woman? He couldn’t figure it out.
He said with a dark face: “Do whatever you want, I don’t care.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Then you have to control yourself! After all, you are just the Former Father-in-law who broke off the relationship with us.”
She also deliberately emphasized the three words ‘Former Father-in-law’.
Xiao Yuanshi always felt that this damn girl had bad intentions in her words.
He wanted to throw her out, “You!”
Shi Qingluo liked to see her scumbag father looking like he wanted to strangle her to death, but he couldn’t do anything with her.
She looked at Xiao Yuanshi and smiled and saying, “Former father-in-law, I heard that you have a treasure map, why don’t you share it with me?”
Xiao Yuanshi’s face changed when he heard this, “What nonsense are you talking about? The treasure map in my hand was presented to the Emperor.”
The bad daughter-in-law knew about the treasure map.
Such a secret thing was only known by him and the Emperor.
The Emperor must have told Xiao Hanzheng.
What did the Emperor want to do?
Shi Qingluo wanted him to take out the treasure map. Was it a simple test, or was he trying to do something?
He couldn’t figure it out, and he had a headache instantly.
Shi Qingluo found it very interesting to watch his father’s changing expression, “Don’t pretend, don’t you have a copy?”
After Xiao Yuanshi was exposed, he was a little panicked, but his face was full of anger, “I am loyal to the Emperor, how could I do such a thing? Don’t throw dirty water on me.”
Shi Qingluo guessed so, would the emperor guess it?
Xiao Hanzheng’s tongue was loose. He told such things to a woman, which was simply outrageous.
He was not afraid that Shi Qingluo would say anything.
But if this bad daughter-in-law became angry, he felt that she could do anything.
Shi Qingluo felt comfortable when he saw his father’s angry look.
Before coming, the Emperor asked them to keep an eye on him, and not let him find the treasure and embezzle it himself, or cooperate with Prince Jin to find the treasure and share the spoils.
She did it on purpose, hanging a knife over her father’s head, torturing him every time he had to make a choice.
If he wanted to plot against them, he had to see if she agreed.
Shi Qingluo curled her lips, “You know whether I have thrown dirty water or not.”
“If you don’t want to share it, forget it. Why are you so excited?”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
He would be stupid to share it.
And who wouldn’t be anxious to hear this?
He waved his hand at Shi Qingluo, “I don’t have any treasure maps, and I don’t have anything else to do, you go back.”
He was so tired at this moment, not only did he not find out anything, but he was also upset by Shi Qingluo’s test.
He regretted calling her over. This dead girl made him so angry that it caused him all his life.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Former father-in-law, then I will go back to the yard first. If you have anything, you can find me again, I will be there at any time.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
Thank you so much.
He said with a fake smile: “Okay!”
There will be no next time, there will not be a next time, he can’t bear it…
Shi Qingluo successfully pissed off his scumbag father, and put him in a more dilemma, making him more nervous, so she smiled and left the yard.
As soon as she left, Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he kicked the stone bench she had sat on several times.
Then he ordered the secret guards to keep an eye on Shi Qingluo and report any situation at any time.
